DefaultDoc

DefaultDoc contains one or more file names of default documents that will be returned to the client if no file name is included in the client's request. The default document will be returned if the EnableDefaultDoc flag of the DirBrowseFlags property is set to true for the directory. This property can contain a list of default document file names separated by a comma and a space, for example Default.htm, Default.asp.

important Important If the EnableDefaultDoc flag is not set in the DirBrowseFlags property, the server will not search for a default document.
